The conservative group One Nation released a new ad attacking Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) for voting against the Republican tax reform bill on Wednesday.

The 30-second ad, titled “Count Me In,” will run statewide “on a combination of broadcast and cable television, radio and digital,” according to One Nation.

The ad starts by playing a clip of Donnelly saying that he would support a tax bill “that helps middle-class families. Count me in, every time.”

“But how did Senator Donnelly actually vote?” the ad’s narrator asks.

What follows is a clip of President Trump blasting Donnelly for voting against the tax reform bill at a recent campaign event in Indiana.

“Donnelly had the chance to cut taxes for Hoosier families. He voted no,” the ad’s narrator says. “Trump’s tax cuts are working for Indiana. It’s time for Donnelly to change course.”

“Joe Donnelly voted against cutting taxes on middle class Hoosier families,” One Nation President and CEO Steven Law said in a statement about the ad. “It is time for Sen. Donnelly to change course by voting to make the middle class tax cuts permanent.”
